On this date in 1886, Atlanta pharmacist John Pemberton created in a brass kettle in his back yard a tonic intended to stop headaches and calm nervousness. When mixed with ice water and served chilled, it was good, but he soon found it was even better when made with carbonated water, so he started selling it as a fountain drink called Coca-Cola. From such humble beginnings are huge multi-national corporations formed.
